1 R&S SFU broadcast test system ANSI/SCTE 40 Conformance Testing Using the R&S SFU, R&S SFE and R&S SFE100 Application Note The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) defined the ANSI/SCTE 40 specification: Digital Cable Network Interface Standard. ANSI/SCTE 40 tests are designed to test conformance of set-top boxes and other cable receiving equipment to ensure that they will operate correctly when installed in a cable system. The tests are a combination of noise (AWGN and phase noise), AM hum, micro-reflections, digital and analog adjacent channels, and other discrete interferences. These impairments are found on most cable systems to some degree. Rohde & Schwarz provides set-top box manufacturers with an easy solution to perform conformance testing in line with ANSI/SCTE 40 by using the R&S SFU broadcast test system and the R&S SFE100 broadcast tester. The R&S SFU is able to perform most of the test procedures in one unit. Furthermore, additional test transmitters allow the simulation of full channel loading. This Application Note explains the specific test requirements, a possible setup, and the configuration using the R&S SFU/SFE100. Subject to change H. Gsoedl, R. Ellis BM68_3E

3 1 Introduction Theory and practice two different worlds. Modulation, transmission, and demodulation of signals are simple tasks in theory. But in practice, errors and inaccuracies occur in each of these steps. In order to ensure that the consumer is able to receive a television service properly under these nonperfect conditions, set-top boxes must be designed to cope with such conditions. The Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) defined the ANSI/SCTE 40 specification: Digital Cable Network Interface Standard. ANSI/SCTE 40 tests are designed to test conformance of set-top boxes and other cable receiving equipment to ensure that they will operate correctly when installed in a cable system. The tests are a combination of noise (AWGN and phase noise), AM hum, micro-reflections, digital and analog adjacent channels, and other discrete interferences. These impairments are found to some degree on most cable systems. Rohde & Schwarz provides set-top box manufacturers with an easy solution to perform conformance testing in line with ANSI/SCTE 40 by using the R&S SFU and R&S SFE/SFE100. The R&S SFU is able to perform most of the test procedures in one unit. Furthermore, additional test transmitters allow the simulation of full channel loading. This Application Note explains the specific test requirements, a possible setup, and the configuration using the R&S SFU/SFE/SFE ANSI/SCTE 40 in Brief The ANSI/SCTE 40 test is designed to test the receiving equipment in a worst case scenario; therefore, the impairments are required to be simultaneously present during the test. The test schematic looks as follows: Fig. 1: ANSI/SCTE 40 test schematic 7BM68_3E 3 Rohde & Schwarz
4 The impairments are defined as follows: Impairments Description Schematic Additive white Gaussian noise 27 db C/(N+I) for 64 QAM (AWGN) 33 db C/(N+I) for 256 QAM Phase noise 88 dbc / Hz at 10 khz offset from channel carrier frequency Micro-reflections us us us us AM hum 3 % 7BM68_3E 4 Rohde & Schwarz
5 Adjacent channels Analog: Modulation depth = 87.5 %, audio/video 10 db. Digital: 64 QAM: symbol rate = MHz, Nyquist filter alpha = 18 %. 256 QAM: symbol rate = MHz, Nyquist filter alpha = 12 %. Channel loading Continuous wave (CW) at 6 MHz spacing on every relevant channel. Adjusted till intermodulation products in the useful channel reach 53 dbc. Discrete interferer Continuous wave (CW) signal at center frequency with 53 dbc. 7BM68_3E 5 Rohde & Schwarz
6 3 Test Setup for ANSI/SCTE 40 Conformance Testing As we have seen in chapter 2, ANSI/SCTE 40 conformance testing requires the modulated useful signal as well as all impairments to be present at the same time. A possible setup of the complete test scenario can look as follows: Main SFU: - Generating the useful signal - Simulation of AWGN, AM Hum, micro-reflections, phase noise - Discrete interference - Adjacent channels Generating CW Full Channel Load Power Combiner C S O / C T B Load DUT Pass/ fail SFE/SFE100 no. 1: 14 CW signals with 6 MHz spacing; center channel empty Power Combiner Amplifier Bandpass; only center channel Band recetion filter; blocking center channel and adjacent channels SFE/SFE100 no. 2: 15 CW signals with 6 MHz spacing SFE/SFE100 no. 3: 15 CW signals with 6 MHz spacing more SFE100s with 15 CW signals with 6 MHz spacing Fig. 2: ANSI/SCTE 40 Test Setup Whether a DUT passes the test could be determined by subjective pass/fail criteria or alternatively bit error rate measurement. For more information on how to perform bit error measurements using the R&S SFU, please refer to [2]. The main R&S SFU generates the useful J.83B signal. Furthermore, AWGN, AM hum, micro-reflections, phase noise, adjacent channel, as well as discrete interferers can be simulated in this unit. Generating CW Full Channel Load As we know from section two of this document, full channel loading as well as CSO/CTB intermodulation products need to be added to the outgoing signal. For simulation, it is sufficient to have CW signals at the channel center frequencies of the TV bands as replacement for the actual TV signals. The R&S SFE/SFE100 has an IQ output bandwidth of 100 MHz. In order to create full channel loading for all relevant TV bands, multiple R&S SFE/SFE100s are required. The waveforms contain 14 or 15 CW signals (90 MHz bandwidth used). 7BM68_3E 6 Rohde & Schwarz
7 For the generation of the CSO/CTB intermodulation products, the channel under test (center channel) needs to be empty. Therefore, the following scheme to generate the CW carriers is used: CSO/CTB channel = useful channel R&S SFE/SFE100 no. 1: 90 MHz R&S SFE/SFE100 no. 2: 90 MHz R&S SFE/SFE100 no. 3: 90 MHz The full channel load needs to be passed through an amplifier in order to generate the second- or third-order intermodulation products in the useful channel. Afterwards bandpass filtering is applied to the center channel, in order to only have the intermodulation products in the output spectrum. From the channel load combiner, a second path is added to the signal coming from the main R&S SFU. This signal is band-rejection-filtered on the three center channels (adjacent channel and useful channel are not overlaid with CW signals), as there the useful signals as well as the adjacent channels are present while testing. Optioning the R&S Test Transmitters The main R&S SFU unit generating the useful signals and all other impairments except CSO/CTB and full channel load should be configured as follows to allow conformance testing in line with ANSI/SCTE 40: Device options TS generator (R&S SFU-K20) or TRP Player (R&S SFU-K22) Impairments Discrete interference X X AWGN X X X X Phase noise X X X X Micro-relections X X X AM hum X X X Adjacent channels X X X X X X 7BM68_3E 7 Rohde & Schwarz J.83/B coder (R&S SFU-K5) Phase noise (R&S SFU-K41) Noise generator AWGN (R&S SFU-K40) Multinoise use (R&S SFU-K43) Fading simulator, 20 paths (R&S SFU-B30) Interferer management (R&S SFU-K37) Arbitrary generator (R&S SFU-K35) Memory extension (R&S SFU-B3) Cable interferer (R&S SFU-K356)
8 To generate the full channel load by means of R&S SFE/SFE100s, the following R&S SFE/SFE100 configuration is required in each case: Arbitrary generator (R&S SFE/SFE100-K35) Memory extension (R&S SFE/SFE100-B3) Cable interferer (R&S SFU-K356) Impairments Full channel load X X X CSO/CTB X X X Although ANSI/SCTE 40 testing requires every impairment to be present at the same time, the previous two tables show the option dependency for each impairment. Thus, it can be easily determined, which options are no longer required, if impairments can already be generated with other existing equipment. 4 Configuring the Main R&S SFU for ANSI/SCTE 40 Testing Basic Configuration This Basic Configuration section explains which fundamental configurations are necessary to perform ANSI/SCTE 40 testing using bit error ratio (BER) measurement as deviation criterion. 1. Preset the R&S SFU: 2. Switch to TX application: 3. Select J.83/B modulation standard in the MODULATION menu: 7BM68_3E 8 Rohde & Schwarz
9 4. Select CODING INPUT SIGNAL, and choose TEST SIGNAL as source, and TEST TS PACKET as test signal. 5. Select CODING CODING, and specify SYMBOL RATE, CONSTELLATION and INTERLEAVER MODE. Phase Noise Generation As described in the previous chapter, it is required to have khz offset. Proceed as follows to configure the main R&S SFU: 1. Select NOISE PHASE; then take, for example, the default.fcf file and adjust the PHASE 100 Hz value, until khz is reached. Note: If application-specific phase noise shapes need to be created, please refer to [4] for more information. 2. Activate phase noise by accessing the NOISE NOISE menu, set noise to ADD, and phase noise to ON. 7BM68_3E 9 Rohde & Schwarz
10 AM Hum and Micro-Reflections Using the Fading Option 1. Select FADING SETTINGS, and select reference DOPPLERFREQ : 2. Go to FADING PROFILE, and enter following configuration: I II I: The first three paths are used to simulate AM hum. While path 1_2 is used for the main signal, assigning -60 Hz. Doppler shift to path 1_1 and +60 Hz to path 1_3 generates the desired AM hum of 60 Hz. For 50 Hz AM hum, change the values to ±50 Hz accordingly. The path loss setting on paths 1-1 and 1-3 finally define the modulation depth. The formula is as follows: PATH LOSS (Db) = 20*log(m/2), where m is the modulation depth. In this example, the AM hum is 3 % corresponding to m = This results in sidebands with attenuations of db. II: Here the four micro-reflection paths are defined. 7BM68_3E 10 Rohde & Schwarz
11 Applying Discrete Interferers The discrete interferer in this context means an unmodulated carrier, also referred to as continuous wave (CW). In order to apply discrete interference by means of the R&S SFU the impairments can be used. 1. Select IMPAIRMENTS, switch modulator impairments to ON and vary the I OFFSET setting: The relative output power of CW ( = r, [db]) in relation to the level indicator of the R&S SFU is computed as follows: r = 20 * log (I OFFSET) + PEP [dbm] - Level [dbm] Adjacent Channels Using the Arbitrary Generator Upper and lower adjacent channels are generated using the arbitrary generator. With the R&S SFU-K37 interferer management option, it is possible to add the interferer signals to the wanted signal. Please refer also to [3] for more details. 1. Select MODULATION MODULATION, and choose ARB as interferer source. Furthermore, specify BEFORE NOISE for interferer addition. Interferer attenuation can then be varied to meet the requirements. 2. Access the ARB application by double-clicking the ARB button. 7BM68_3E 11 Rohde & Schwarz
12 3. Access ARB ARB, and click LOAD WAVEFORM : Select one of the following three waveforms of the cable interferer library: SCTE_2CH_64QAM.WV: Two digital adjacent channels with 64 QAM modulation. SCTE_2CH_256QAM.WV: Two digital adjacent channels with 256 QAM modulation. SCTE_2CH_NTSC.WV: Two analog adjacent channels with NTSC signals. Generating Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) A specific C/(N+I) needs to be specified, when all other interferences such as CSO, CTB, and discrete interferers are present. This can be done using the AWGN option of the R&S SFU: 1. Activate AWGN noise by accessing the NOISE NOISE menu, set noise to ADD and AWGN to ON. 2. Select NOISE AWGN, and vary the C/N value until the C/(N+I) requirement is met. 7BM68_3E 12 Rohde & Schwarz
13 5 Configuring R&S SFE/SFE100s for Full Channel Load Simulation The R&S SFU-K356 cable interferer library provides two different channel load waveforms which can be generated using the arbitrary waveform generator: FullCWLoad.wv: Containing 15 CW signals in 6 MHz spacing. FullCWLoad_NoCenter.wv: Containing 14 CW signals in 6 MHz spacing. Center channel empty. Proceed as follows to output the desired spectrum (besides the Windows GUI, also the control via front display of the R&S SFE100 is shown): 1. Preset the R&S SFE/SFE Switch to ARB application: 3. Access ARB ARB, and click LOAD WAVEFORM : or or Select one of the above waveforms. 4. Switch to TX application: or 5. Go to MODULATION MODULATION, and select ARB as signal source. or 7BM68_3E 13 Rohde & Schwarz
14 6. Select FREQUENCY FREQUENCY and enter the desired center frequency. or Note: The frequency setting needs to be incremented or decremented in 90 MHz steps on the different R&S SFE/SFE100s for continuous channel load. 7. Select LEVEL LEVEL, and adjust the output power as desired: or 7BM68_3E 14 Rohde & Schwarz
